--I also posted this question, under the 2008-2009 App Questions Thread, which is where I should of originally posted.
So how long after being verified does it take to get Secondary app. invites? I know I just got my primary verified, but knowing when to expect secondary applications would be nice.

A friend of mine applied in March three years ago and got in at Western with a 23 mcat. Now her husband had already been accepted so that may have helped, but I know that applying in June or July is considered early by most people's standards.
Two people I worked with until this June applied in November and are now attending PNWU and Nova. My premed advisor is still sending out emails to all the applicants for this year telling us how to submit a primary so from this I'd say I feel like I am still an early applicant.
The waiting is the worst part. I wish I could fast forward to May so I could either be packing my bags for school or revamping my app for 2010.🙂

How do we update our AACOMAS if we have a new MCAT score to report? I tried playing around with what is present on the application...but it didn't prompt me with any type of re-verification processing...so, if we are already verified and schools have received our applications, then do we need to call up each school individually now to make any changes (like MCAT score reports and class changes for the upcoming semester)?
I submitted mine at the end of July and still no verification. Anyone know what the hold-up could be?
I have a few silly questions about the verification process. I submitted 7/21.
Under status in my aacomas application, it says verified. But, from what i understood from reading this forum, am i supposed to be receiving an email or letter in the mail stating that I was verified?
Also, once I'm verified, how long should it take for the secondaries to come in?
7/23 would be 6 weeks. Did you have all of your transcripts received by then? I'd imagine you'll be verified very shortly, if so.

I know I have been asking alot of questions in different threads......sorry if I am being annoying...
One of my transcripts hasnt arrive, (i have paid and submitted) and I know that verification doesnt start until that little green check is marked. But when they have been updating my transcript arrivals (4 different schools...blah) they are about a week and a half behind (one got there 8.26 and showed up 9/3) should I assume that they have the last one and stop all my worrying about timing, being to late in the process and such?
Thoughts?

I know it was sent because I sent it myself (my EMT cards in lieu of the annoyingly hard to get comm college transcript where I got the thing) Will verification start even if they havent updated it yet? (as in not updating that either?) Just want to be in the mix of things for interviews and such.
@chocolate bear.....your a gentleman and a scholar and a wealth of info.

Actually I'm verified!!!! I checked my aacomas app, but I guess I havent received the email yet. Yay this makes this crappy monday a whole lot better. Ok now before I get ahead of myself...now what do I do??
I submitted my app on 7/29 and still not verified. The processing box came up 3-4 weeks ago and has all the boxes checkmarked. How long did it take people after this box popped up to become verified? All mine says is that it's processing. Thanks
So, AACOMAS is considering me to be completely submitted on 8/15 - a full 7 days after they received my final transcript. Which probably amounts to a hill of beans in the big picture, but dammit, it's still so f'ing frustrating to check it everyday, and see "Processing." 😡
That is all.
How do you determine the date you were considered to have submitted your app? Take my case for instance which sounds like others here. I was complete except for one missing transcript around 8/11 "including paying and submitting". It was 8/28 before the missing transcript arrived. And it was 9/3 before they updated to show all three boxes checkmarked and processing. What gives?
